==Compatibility==
==Compatibility==
Pokémon Colosseum is compatible with all five of the [[core series]] Pokémon games on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. Items and Pokémon can be traded between them in the same manner that they can be traded between each other. However, the player must have defeated [[Evice]] in the main story mode in order to unlock it, have a GameCube-Game Boy Advance cable, and a Game Boy Advance.

==Localization changes==
* In Europe, a GameCube Bundle could be purchased which included Pokémon Colosseum, a memory card, [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]] as a bonus disc, and a [[GameCube]]-[[Game Boy Advance]] [[Game Link Cable]].
* In the international localizations of {{g|Colosseum}}, [[Rui]]'s shirt and skirt were lengthened.
* Due to the [[Card e Room]] being dummied out in the international releases, three Shadow Pokémon that were exclusively obtainable via e-Reader cards are not available in the localized versions. The Shadow Pokémon distributed via e-Reader cards were {{p|Mareep}}, {{p|Togepi}}, and {{p|Scizor}}.

* If a Pokémon is traded from Pokémon XD to a GBA game and then to this game, the caught location will most likely be displayed as [[Mt. Battle]], regardless of where it was actually caught in [[Orre]], even if it was caught in an area accessible in the game, because both games use [[List of locations by index number (Orre)|exactly the same internal index list for locations]]. Doing the reverse also produces a status screen oddity.
